Successful setup of an OAW-AP120 series access point consists of five tasks, which must be performed
in this order:
1. Verify pre-installation connectivity.
2. Identify the specific installation location for each AP.
3. Install each AP.
4. Verify post-installation connectivity.
5. Configure each AP.

CAUTION
Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity
Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs will be able to locate and
connect to the WLAN Switch when powered on.
Specifically, you must verify the following conditions:
When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address
APs are able to locate the WLAN Switch (WLAN Switch Discovery)
Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent AOS-W Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and connecting to the
WLAN Switch.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
!
CAUTION
You can mount the OAW-AP120 series access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP placement
map generated by Alcatel's RF Plan software application to determine the proper installation
location(s). Each location should be as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area
and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference. These RF absorbers/
reflectors/interference sources will impact RF propagation and should have been accounted for during
the planning phase and adjusted for in RF plan.
Alcatel-Lucent OAW-AP120 Series Indoor Access Point
Alcatel, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the OAW-AP120 series
access points so that only authorized network administrators can change the settings. For more
information about AP configuration, refer to the Alcatel-Lucent AOS-W Quick Start Guide and
Alcatel-Lucent OS User Guide.
Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to governmental regulation.
Network administrators responsible for the configuration and operation of access points must
comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments
appropriate to the location in which the access point will be used.
RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure
limits. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 13.78 inches
(35 cm) between the radiator and your body for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operations. This transmitter
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. When
operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range, this device is restricted to indoor use to reduce
the potential for harmful interference with co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.
